Out Here is the fifth album by the American rock band Love, released in late 1969.
[edit] Story
With the classic line-up of Love a memory, the group metamorphosized into a more experimental and free-flowing group, bearing little resemblance to its past except for the presence of leader Arthur Lee. Recording three LPs worth of material with his new group, Lee offered one to Elektra Records in order to fulfill the contract that had been in place for nearly four years. "Four Sail", the result of Elektra's cherry-picking, was released in August 1969.
Arranging the two remaining LPs into an album, Lee signed a new contract with EMI-distributed Blue Thumb Records and saw the release of "Out Here" in December 1969, a mere matter of months after Elektra dropped "Four Sail". Balancing jam-length numbers, short link tracks and harder-edged standard-length tracks, the result was a Gemini twin to "Four Sail", albeit one that would be much more difficult to find as time passed.
